Analysis of copy number variant (CNV) in genomes of patiens with mental retardation
Hančárová, Miroslava ; Sedláček, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Gaillyová, Renata (referee) ; Michalová, Kyra (referee)
Mental retardation (MR) is a very heterogeneous common neurodevelopmental disorder with a population prevalence of 2.5-3 %. The importance of genetic factors in the development of MR is high but in a significant number of cases the etiology remains unexplained. Recent studies using array methods pointed to frequent occurrence of copy number variants (CNVs) in patients with MR. Pathogenic CNVs were identified in 10-15 % patients with idiopathic MR and normal karyotype. The aim of our work was the analysis of genome-wide gains and losses of genetic material in a group of Czech patients with MR and a thorough bioinformatic analysis of the genetic changes identified aiming at the assessment of their clinical significance. We performed whole genome analysis using the HumanCytoSNP-12 BeadChips (Illumina) in 183 patients with idiopathic MR, normal karyotype and no FMR1 gene expansion. Data analysis was carried out using two independent programmes, GenomeStudio and QuantiSNP. The findings were subjected to two rounds of thorough bioinformatic analysis. Based on this analysis we classified the CNVs into 4 categories: pathogenic CNVs, probably pathogenic CNVs, CNVs with uncertain clinical significance and benign CNVs. With the exception of the benign variants, all CNVs were confirmed using an independent laboratory...

New skill acquisition in the workshop contributes to the development and preservation of abilities of people with mental disabilities. That also helps to improve their quality of life. The main target of the bachelor thesis is to present a specific therapeutic program for selected clients focuses on development of cognitive functions and fine motor skills. At described cases of two clients with moderate mental disability it was shown how different can be the benefits of ergotherapy treatment. For one client the ergotherapy meant rather meaningful time spending and fine motor skills development and for the other more likely time to learn technological procedures which can be used in the future employment. This concrete case confirmed the necessity of long-term care for mentally disabled clients to have enough time to teach them necessary skills. Key words - mental retardation, mental disability, social therapeutic workshop, ergotherapy, particular therapic program, working use

Art education at special primary school
Vanická, Kateřina ; Kitzbergerová, Leonora (advisor) ; Jakubcová Hajdušková, Lucie (referee)
The bachelor essay utilises empirical research methods in order to inquire into how graphic arts education has been implemented in a particular elementary school for children with special needs. Its main goal is to assess to what extent the outcomes laid down in the Framework Education Programme for Special Needs Schools were achieved in practice. The essay has two main parts. First is the theoretical part in which the following topics are discussed: the hierarchy and content of the Framework Education Programmes, M. Mosston's Spectrum of Didactic Styles; the Theory of Self-Determination developed from the thought of Carl Rogers to guide teachers in supporting their students' autonomy; the specifics of the graphic art creation process in the case of a child with mental disabilities. Second is the practical part which proposes a detailed analysis of two educational units which took place in a chosen elementary school. The method of both structured and unstructured observation were used. Semi-structured interviews with the teachers of the units were used to gather even more pieces of useful information. The author of the essay then utilised the outcomes of the empirical research in creating her own educational project. The project is presented in the essay. KEYWORDS art education, special educational...
